Firstly a massive thanks to Alex Whitehead and Paul Malov, we seem to have been able to pull off an interstate project in just over a week and ready for on the water testing! The total scan transducer bolts up to the existing location and uses the two plastic mounts we have come up with.
The new cover sits over the top of the transducer to save it from wear and tear.
The cover sits just under the sides of the hull on a Pro Angler and as Alex found out it fits nicely on the trailer.
Alex was first on the water this morning and sent this screen shot of the side scan in action.
He originally had his transducer glued through hull and was not happy with the image I woke up to a very excited message from him this morning… “That transducer mount is awesome! Bolted straight up really quickly and its providing the same crisp image as when I had it hanging over the rear of the kayak but now with no hassle!”.
Check out this mulloway he landed this morning also to top it off.
Thanks heaps for your help and the images Alex! Tomorrow morning I am catching up with Paul to see how his works we fitted up earlier in the week.
Here’s some more screenshots to bust the myths of loss of clarity using the Totalscan Mount

I was wondering if this will fit a 2015 outback
Martyn
Hi Tommy
So long as it is Lowrance Ready with the plate on the base it will fit this mount 😀
Shawn
Hey guys I have a question. I am looking for a good transducer mount for my kayak. My kayak is an ascend Fs12t and I have been debating about setting it up in my scupper or from my rod holder. My issue is, is that I have a pretty long transducer and everything that I have looked at seems to have the smaller transducer. Do you have a product that will work with my garmin echomap chirp 44dv transducer for the model kayak that I have?
Martyn
Hi Shawn
Sorry I haven’t seen that model or how to mount them. Is there a location for them? You could adapt a lowrance scupper mount to fit that maybe?
Matt
Will this mount work with the older structure scan transducers (lss2)?
Martyn
Hi Matt this does. You need to mount the sonar transducer separate though. email me at [email protected] for more info
James
Oops!! Sorry, I looked further up and see your name is Martyn.

Hey Marylyn.
One more question. Do the cables for the 3-d transducer fit through the existing through hull fittings for the Hobie lowrance ready feature or does it require drilling additional holes?
Thanks again.
Bruce
It requires the bigger three outlet thru hull fitting for the 3D transducer
Martyn
Hey Bruce
Could you please flick me a email with your contact details to [email protected]
Thanks
James
Hi Marylyn.
I’m ready to purchase this product for the 3d structure scan for my Hobie T17. I don’t see it on your website yet. Is it available to order?
Thanks so much.
Martyn
Hey James
This transducer mount doesn’t fit the 3d transducer. I will have these for sale next week!
Thanks
Dave
Hi Marylyn,
Great idea. Am also keenly awaiting to install my 3D transducer this method once your product is out. Any time estimates?
Martyn
Hey Dave, Should have a first look at the 3d structure transducer mount early next week!
Bruce
Hi Martyn
Do you know if the mount is suitable for the Gen 3 3D transducer as they are close to the same size
Martyn
Hi Bruce
Won’t fit with the 3D transducer. I’m currently working on one!
Bruce
Thanks Martyn, how far off do you think the 3D mount will be.
Martyn
Hey Bruce
Just producing the prototype now. Should be just after xmas!
Mike

kim
does this fit with ocean kayak trident 4.3?

Martyn
Hi Kim no this is only suited for Hobie Kayaks sorry.
STLKayak
Does it let in enough water for the temp to read correctly? Any issue with sand or mud getting lodged under the cover?
Martyn
Hi, it has 2 drain holes in the cover and a large hole at the rear for water to pass out. It gives a good temperature reading also. We haven’t had any issues yet in regards to sand getting stuck.
Roger
Available in the US, or Australia only right now?
Martyn
